How To Use This Site

When you click on any of the Top 10 Health Concerns for Northeastern Pennsylvania listed in the left-hand Navigation bar, you'll be taken to a page offering local, state, and national resources available for that condition. Links are also provided to relevant Internet information. (Note: these Top 10 Health Concerns were determined from data received from the Pennsylvania Health Care Cost Containment Council).

Because NEPA counties are among the state's least healthy, we also wanted to provide a page dedicated to Wellness, offering resources for nutrition, exercise, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Additionally, Patient Safety is a major focus of the institutions dedicated to helping you stay well, so resources are provided for that as well.

If your topic of interest is not one of the top 10, you'll still be able to find relevant information on the Local Health Calendars and Local Health Organizations pages where we provide information that is available on ANY health condition (not just the top 10).
